UK politicians can reach Brexit deal in next few days: Scottish
Conservative leader

A Brexit deal could be reached by negotiators from Britain's
Conservative and Labour parties within a few days, the leader
of Scotland's Conservatives, Ruth Davidson, said. "We are
getting closer and closer. There is not that much between the
two main parties as I understand it within the room," she told
reporters at a party conference in Aberdeen.

North Korea fired several "unidentified short-range
projectiles" into the sea off its east coast on Saturday,
prompting South Korea to call on its communist neighbor to
"stop acts that escalate military tension on the Korean
Peninsula." The South Korean military initially described it as
a missile launch, but subsequently gave a more vague
description. The latest firing came after the North's test of
what it called a tactical guided weapons system in April.

Gaza-Israel hostilities flare with rocket attacks, air strikes

Gaza militants fired dozens of rockets into Israel on Saturday
and an Israeli air strike killed one Palestinian gunman as
hostilities flared across the border for a second day. The
escalation began on Friday, when two Israeli soldiers were
wounded by Gaza gunfire near the border. A retaliatory Israeli
air strike killed two militants from the Islamist Hamas group
that governs Gaza. Two other Palestinians protesting near the
frontier were also killed by Israeli forces.

China putting minority Muslims in 'concentration camps,' U.S.
says

The United States accused China on Friday of putting well more
than a million minority Muslims in "concentration camps," in
some of the strongest U.S. condemnation to date of what it
calls Beijing's mass detention of mostly Muslim Uighur minority
and other Muslim groups. The comments by Randall Schriver, who
leads Asia policy at the U.S. Defense Department, are likely to
increase tension with Beijing, which is sensitive to
international criticism and describes the sites as vocational
education training centers aimed at stemming the threat of
Islamic extremism.

Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn on Saturday completed
Buddhist and Brahmin rituals to symbolically transform him into
a living god as the Southeast Asian nation crowned its first
monarch in nearly seven decades. The coronation of King
Vajiralongkorn, 66, took place inside the Grand Palace throne
hall in Bangkok after a period of official mourning for his
revered father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in October
2016 having reigned for 70 years.

UK Conservatives look for Brexit compromise after local poll
losses

Britain's governing Conservatives need to be open to compromise
with the opposition Labour Party in order to deliver Brexit
following heavy losses in Thursday's local elections, senior
ministers said on Saturday. Prime Minister Theresa May's
Conservatives lost 1,332 seats on English local councils that
were up for re-election and Labour, which would typically aim
to gain hundreds of seats in a mid-term vote, instead lost 81.

South Africa's largest opposition party promises to lead
coalitions, tackle racism

South Africa's largest opposition party, the Democratic
Alliance (DA), although heading for defeat in May 8 national
elections, pledged to forge coalitions with smaller parties to
break the dominance of the ruling ANC, especially at the local
level. South Africans vote for a sixth time since the end of
apartheid in 1994, and while an all-out victory for the ruling
African National Congress is almost certain, the margin of its
majority is set to drop following a decade of weak economic
growth and a rise in racial tensions.

Iran must resist U.S. sanctions through oil, non-oil exports:
Rouhani

President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday Iran must counter
U.S. sanctions by continuing to export its oil as well as
boosting non-oil exports. Rouhani's comments, carried live on
Iranian TV, came a day after Washington acted to force Iran to
stop producing low-enriched uranium and expanding its only
nuclear power plant, intensifying a campaign aimed at halting
its ballistic missile program and curbing its regional power.

of the oil-producing south that is targeted by armed groups
looking to exploit a security void.

The strongest cyclone to hit India in five years killed at
least 12 people in eastern Odisha state, before swinging
north-eastwards into Bangladesh on Saturday where more than a
million people have been moved to safety. Having hit land,

downgraded to a 'Deep Depression' by the Indian
Meteorological Department.
